i have removed my diff for new oil,bearings and seal, have had it sand blasted and i need to paint it or powder coat it any recomended ways and products silver is the colour for it cheers

 

dave two options fella ,

if your having it rebuilt , have the cases blasted and powdercoated before reassembly ,


or once its all back together , clean , degrease and paint in 2k , just mask of the flanges ,

frost restoration do a really good paint called aluma-blast , its a alloy effect paint , very durable used it to paint cylinder heads , inlets ect ,

comes in both tin and areosol ,

thanks mate diff is all back together now so will just have to pait it.

 

as beef said, aluma blast is the best stuff. cracking finish

 

just painted the diff here is how it looks

 

might have to do the gear box now. just re done starter in black and prop shaft

 

Good to see your working hard.

 

well was sitting in the office bored so what the hell time to get cleaning

 

davecosworth: Nice job that on the diff

Did you just have it sandblasted and then paint it yourself or have it powdercoated?

If painted what type of paint did you use?

thanks

reiss

 

i had it sandblasted and the i grey primed it with zinc primer then used recommended product above aluma blast and satin black for the flanges (reiss)

 

looks well dave , glad i could help lol

thanks very much for the info on the paint sorry didn't mean to be rude

 

Old thread I know....

But I've got a litre of Eastwoods Aluma Blast and it does'nt look Silver at all, it has a fair bit of Gold in it and dries to more of a Bronze finish
